Strange Thing

I have been flying Hobby Zone Firebird Phantom for the last 6 months. 2 days ago it acted very strangely. After 5 to 10 seconds of flying suddenly it took very sharp right turn with nose down and then it hit the ground. I thought it could be my mistake. I flew it again and it did same thing again. I then checked the controls. Everything was working fine on ground. I flew it again and it did same thing again. I thought it could be range problem. I then checked the range and it was ok. All this is very strange to me. Does any know what is the cause of problem? I will really appricate if anyone can help.

RE: Strange Thing

Did you check the Rx batts? Are you using a 2.4 gig system. Your symtoms match low voltage dip conditon and the subsequent response . The Rx does not alwyas reset it upon seeing low voltage. The voltage dip may not be low enough to cause a reset. But it can cause the symptomes you describe without going in to fail safe. But then maybe it did and came out when the voltage came back up.

Is your batt ok? How do you know? How many digital servos are you using?

Interested in you response.
